Learn, get involved and have fun

Children and adults are encouraged to learn, get involved, and have fun during a series of events designed to educate the public about the environment and the need to conserve vital natural resources.

WaterWeeks is being hosted by Langley Environmental Partners Society and the Township from Sept. 25 to Oct. 15, and activities and events have been planned to show people of all ages how they can take action and make a difference when it comes to caring for our water.

WaterWeeks began Sept. 25 with the B.C. Rivers Day festival. It continues with a series of environmental activities will be presented by local community groups to teach residents about the Langley’s groundwater, watersheds, watercourses, air quality, and wildlife habitats.

For the above events, register at 604 532-3511 or e-mail waterweeks@tol.ca.

• How to Boil a Frog Film Screening Wednesday, Oct. 12, 7 p.m., Kwantlen Polytechnic University Auditorium. Free screening of the humorous documentary about too many people using up too little planet much too fast. Register at 604 599-3311 or e-mail gary.jones@kwantlen.ca.

Students will get an extra dose of environmental information during WaterWeeks, as free classroom workshops on water, watersheds, and our changing climate will be offered. The annual Global Warming Poster Contest will be held to give Langley school children a chance to win a sleepover at the Vancouver Aquarium. As well, Stream of Dreams will offer watershed education through public art at local elementary schools, and LEPS will initiate the Idling Gets You Nowhere school project, funded by Environment Canada.
